POK ‘minister’ at Saarc meet, India walks out | India News

NEW DELHI: An Indian diplomat walked out of the Saarc charter meeting in Islamabad after Pakistani authorities permitted a POK ‘minister’ to speak at the event.

Official resources said the diplomat, Shubham Singh, staged a walkout to register India’s protest over the presence of POK minister Chaudhary Mohammed Saeed at the Saarc chamber of commerce and business assembly on Saarc charter working day. In holding with its place on POK, India does not recognise any POK minister. Elected Indian associates and federal government officers avoid sharing system with any POK minister or official.

It wasn’t clear till late in the night if the government had lifted the issue diplomatically with Pakistan. Official sources stated India’s placement on the Saarc summit was vindicated by this.
